I said no such thing. Read the whole thing again, take the upset level down a few notches and get back to us.

I'm sorry if I misread your message.

This is were I'm at:

You brought up the fact that FR could identify criminals. I brought up the fact it could also identify innocent people as criminals. When innocent people are accused of crimes they didn't do, they usually get upset.

I didn't say I personally was upset with your message. I said they would get upset. I'm not a "people" person, but this should be obvious. And I think I would be upset too if I got accused of something I didn't do.

You still didn't tell me how you would resolve an innocent person being misidentified by a facial recognition system. Can they sue the company or person who developed it?

> how you would resolve an innocent person being misidentified by a facial recognition system

Due process, which they'll still be entitled to.

Not sure about suing. I'm sure people will try and sue.
